Originally Published 2 years ago — by Yahoo Entertainment
Shelly Battista, a cancer survivor from Illinois, gave birth to identical twins after having her ovaries removed due to ovarian insufficiency caused by chemotherapy. She had frozen eight embryos before the surgery and successfully became pregnant on her third attempt. The twins were born exactly two years after she was declared cancer-free. Shelly is grateful for the support she received from Northwestern Medicine's Center for Fertility and Reproductive Medicine throughout her journey.
